And, Jonidas, maybe you ought to build a few more courtside and box seats. You have sold them out for about 10 games in a row. One of the first things I read in the rules back in season three was that when you start selling out your seats, it's time to add more.

How can I build more seats without any cash, next week, with the allstar I won't have a home game and I will go to bankrupt. That's a problem in many teams of my league, and many others, we have to save our cash according to the schedule to avoid going to bankrupt. And that's the big difference betwen people playing in large and small communities, that we can't generate the same incomes as you, even if our outcomes have to be much bigger to be able to compete.

And, while putting players on the TL might lower one part of your fan survey it raises another ( " doing everything he can..." ) so that argument is not only ridiculous, it is wrong.

Yes, the other ones raises, but if the first of them decreases to 0,5-1 balls and the other goes to 4,5-5 the average is lower than if both of them would maintain in 4.

Or being in the game since season 1 or skillful ( or rampant) daytrading, or saving for a long time.

Yap, too, and I'm pretty sure most of the teams from smaller countries that compete with me in the market have not been as skilled (day or nighttrading) neither saving. You now seem to get it.

And, ummm, I call bogus on you claiming that it always happens based on the 69 players you have bought on the TL.

Sorry, what are you saying about 69 players I've bought on the TL, "transfer list"? What's the problem with this? I don't get it.

Edit: I re-read you and now I know. But still don't know how does it affect (me, buying 69 players) with the point I stated. Actually, many of those 69 were "rampant" daytrading in order to compete with market stuff (staff and players) caused in a good part by the unbalanced situation we've been talking about :)

If you think small countries is not a problem, this morning I was going for this player.
Tiro: 11 Alcance de tiro: 3
Def. exterior: 7 Manejo: 4
Penetración: 6 Pases: 7
Tiro interior: 18 Def. interior: 8
Rebotes: 5 Tapones: 7
Resistencia: 4 Tiros libres: 3

bet 2,6, all I have, and a Asian team got him for 2,7, and would surely have gone to 3,5 or even more. It's a matter about effort time dedicated to the game with different/unfair success in a same market/court.

All your partners of your league are in the same position. In this moment you have to deal with them

I am not arguing whether or not Jonidas is a great manager. He currently has two players on the market, is in 1st place in his division, and has sold out or close to sold out his courtside and box seats for 12 weeks, while charging nowhere near max prices. That's a mistake by him. He has made 16 transfers in that time. It is not anywhere close to a stretch to conclude that he could have increased his seats some. He is currently adding 12 seats to his courtside, which is a great move. He should do that every time a construction finishes. Bit by bit, getting up to the max.

I would say that my transfer history is anything but amazing. Losing 21 million is not a very good record. But when I buy a good player, I keep him until I want to upgrade then generally sell them at a loss to ensure a sale so I can afford a better player with my savings and transfer money. The balance is not so important as the spending, though. I have spent 52 million in 8 seasons, while Jonidas has spent 39 in 8 seasons. WOW! A whopping 1.5 million more per season, or less than 100k per week.

So, would you say that Buzzerbeater is just playing against our "partners of our leagues"? Because this would be totally out of debate.

I never really thought about this before

other managers did... literally years ago
it's a well known fact that playing in small countries can make the game very easy

And also when you sold players to Asian or Nigerian teams i dont think that you argue...

I think that there are benefits of be in a small country, but really i prefer to play in a big one.
In the other hand, as Crazy said (Or Patje), in this moment is not a problem, in last B3, of the best 16, only 2 where for "small" countrys.

Believe me I prefer not selling them a player in order to not to compete with them in the market. The comparison is far a disadvantage.

And believe me I prefer playing in a big community too.

The balance is not so important as the spending, though. I have spent 52 million in 8 seasons, while Jonidas has spent 39 in 8 seasons. WOW! A whopping 1.5 million more per season, or less than 100k per week.

This is not as you explain it. I have spent 39 millions in 8 seasons but had to sold 42 while you had spent 52 only selling 31. That's a great difference in my opinion.

Actually yes!. BBB is really small part of the game. The other part is the national teams, that bigger countries have a clear advantage (more quality players from the draft, more chances for farm teams, way more active community to help the newbies etc.)

What you are missing here is the fact that those amounts of money that we can spend almost going to the bigger countries for the simple reason that they have way more players to offer. Its not coincidence that the 3 players that i pay more than 2M to buy there nationalities are German/Canadian/French. (Large communities). I wanted to buy local players, but guess what? None was on the market as good as i wanted. That means of course less merchandise revue for my team, compared with a team that can easily have 12 domestic players.

Also the same money power that i have has Gold Towers or BC teammate or Megalonisos (those 3 are the elite teams in CBBA). And you know last 2-3 seasons i am having much more fun couz those 4 teams can win each other at anytime. We are really close. Believe i didnt felt so great when i advanced on CBBA taking bots place. A competition that you are enjoying since you have started. Win its just 1 part of the game not everything as the Norwegian manager stated before.

Edit:Actually if you earn more than us, nothing will change on your domestic competition because everybody will earning more money, and the prices will rise more. I cant see how that will help you, except that 0.3% that is BBB
